- Continuing on where we left off in the last movie,…if you thought that was easy, this is even easier.…If you would like to follow along,…we are using the exercise file,…Applying the push transition,…located in the exercise files folder.…So, jumping over to the transitions tab.…We have our slides set up;…they are formatted exactly as we want them.…All we have to do is apply that Push transition,…which is right next to that Fade transition.…

Now, don't confuse the Push transition…with the Wipe transition.

This course, created by Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Heather Ackmann, shows you how to enliven your presentations by animating text and graphics in PowerPoint.

Heather begins with a primer on PowerPoint animation, helping you understand when—and when not—to incorporate animations into a presentation. She then goes into the building blocks of animating in PowerPoint: layering objects, working with background images, animating text, playing with lighting effects, and zooming with style. She shows how to animate with transitions, and walks viewers through the creation of three sample projects: a spinning globe animation, an animated timeline, and a flip-book. Heather wraps up by showing you how to put the finishing touches on a presentation by animating to music, automating playback, and exporting your PowerPoint file as a video.
